Getting Sound But No Image - Black Screen

So I overcame this problem, after seeing a remark in another post.

I can now play the game using the NVidia processor, but not in full screen mode. Only windowed mode.

The solution was to go to C:\Users\jcope\Documents\SH4\data\cfg and find the file called main.cfg. In that file, edit the resolution line to something less than 1900x1080, and make sure FullScreen=No, as shown below.

[VIDEO]
Resolution=1600,900,60,22
DynamicShadows=No
FullScreen=No
Synchronized=No
TextureResolutionHigh=Yes

When the game runs, it comes up in a window, still showing the black screen, but after the intro videos (fail to) play, when I click back onto the game window, the visuals appear and the game runs just fine. Maybe the intro videos could be made to run, but I'll live without them.

Thanks for the responses. I hope this solution is useful to someone else.
